Default I have a blinking green "S" light in my 1990 Honda Accord. What does this mean?

It came on right as the speedometer stopped working for a few seconds (which happened 2 or 3 times) and stayed on until I turned the car off. It hasn't come back on yet in the two times I've driven the car since. I don't have the owner's manual.

The S light is for Service, so it was your car's way of polietly asking you to take it in to have it looked at.

bring your car in for service, but be prepared, some places do charge your for just diagnosing the problem by hooking up a computer. i work for a dealership. it is harder than it sounds like. Most of the time the technician needs to recreate the situation and take your car and drive it. I've had to do it countless times, sometimes it takes several hours and the technician needs to get paid. Most places have a flat rate so the customer isn't screwed over if the tech takes a long time.
